Learning Norwegian

Many places offer Norwegian classes at all levels of ability. The best choice for you will depend on if you are learning for work, permanent residence, or simply to fit in better with the Norwegians around you. Also depending on your situation and the school you attend, your courses may be free of charge.

If you are learning Norwegian for your permanent residence, the requirements have recently changed and the number of hours you must complete will depend on when you first moved to Norway.

For those who started their three years between 2005-09-01 and 2011-12-31, the requirement is 250 hours of Norwegian language and 50 hours of social studies.

For those who started their three years on 2012-01-01 and later, the requirement is 550 hours of Norwegian language and 50 hours of social studies.

Exemptions may apply, however. More information on the language requirements for permanent residence can be found here.
